TLDR: when you setup the KFM or “backup” it moves all your profiles to c:users:profile\onedrive\desktop , docs, photos and redirects your librAries. If you are saving directly to those old locTions manually you won’t see the files synced since onedrive isn’t syncing those locations and has moved your files to the synced locations.
You are right as well about this not being a true backup. It can substitute. Backup buy it has the gap of entire accessible snapshots. But overall it’s solid.
Anyway just clarifying why you are seeing what you are seeing with the old directory and your files not being there. If your offline then that onedrive folder has them for access unless you have files on demand turned on which will be cloud only unless you tell it to keep those directories “always available”
